5 Reasons to buy a 2nd Gen Toyota Sequoia in 2023

[@stevep5736]

If MPG’s are an issue for you: Don’t look at these rigs , move along. But, if you want a great safe family vehicle, bullet proof engine and 4x4 transmission, a living room on wheels… well my friend, this is the right for ‘ya !! 👍

[@CoolGuyClub]

That’s a fact

[@sergiolizahola1695]

Big facts

[@EHustleEntertainment]

Every time I think I don't need to keep looking for one of these you put out a video that makes me want one again.

[@CoolGuyClub]

ahah thank you! They are really fun rigs once you get them all dialed in.

[@chikombechela2460]

True story 😅😅 totally relate.

[@Desi_baba]

Go for it I just got mine a day ago it’s a 2020 limited as I needed bench seating in middle with 20,000 miles

[@spiralnapkin]

Just do it bro. You won't forget it.

The worthy ex sequoia

[@mk-sulai.0078]

I’m using 2011 sequoia as a daily drive since 10 years & Thank God it runs smoothly without any issues in all these years. Proud owner here 😁

[@CoolGuyClub]

Good to hear! Thanks so much for watching

[@kaulanahansen2426]

Keep up the Sequoia content, great stuff! Cool to see more of these 2nd gens getting built. Love what you’ve done with your rig!

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you so much! We are trying our best to keep theee vids coming

[@andrewkavanagh1376]

You should mention that you can go from 2WD to AWD to true 4X4. Not many vehicles can do that. very handy for snowy roads.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Good point. Thanks for commenting!!

[@FathersFuckingBiscuits]

What’s the difference between AWD and true 4x4?

[@rupertcornelius8924]

​@@FathersFuckingBiscuitstypically in all wheel drive, and many 4 wheel drive vehicles the transfer case is setup like a limited slip differential. Meaning it transfers power to the axle set (front or rear) that are slipping. What sets this transfer case apart from most others is the ability to lock it. In 2 wheel drive it sends power to the rear axles. In 4 wheel high it sends power to both front and rear but it sends more power to the axles that are slipping/spinning. So if you have a front wheel in the air or mud or something it's going to send most of the power to the spinning wheel. When you select 4 low it locks the transfer case and splits power equally between the front and rear regardless of whether or not one of them is spinning. It does still have open diffs though. So if right rear and front left are in the air or mud or whatever you're still in trouble. This drive train with front and rear air or electric locking diffs makes it "true 4x4" and is virtually unstoppable. This type of transfer case is only found in the Sequoia, Land Cruiser and Limited 4Runner (4wd). As far as Toyota SUVs go.

[@briannas1615]

@@rupertcornelius8924good explanation. I just got a 2018 and am looking forward to taking it out to the snow soon!

[@johnm7340]

We had two Sequoia's as family haulers - loved them both for 125k miles. Put TRD supercharger on the 2008 and the 2011 copies we had (both Platnium) - 2008 tuning was never quite right - knocked under load (hard accelation, towing, 91 Cali gas) - after dealer too three tries to fix - we got lucky as we live in S. Cal and they sent me up to TRD in Costa Mesa and they tuned the truck on the dyno - it was amazing after that - towed 7,500 lb. boat - temp gauge never moved - rock solid. We had air suspension which gave a great ride. Can't go wrong - our 2nd one we sold to a friend and they have over 200k miles on it - still on original motor and tranny!

[@CoolGuyClub]

Damn. We need to pick your brain on the supercharger for our rig

[@Methodical2]

Love my '13 Platinum Sequoia. Original owner. Bought it when it just came off the truck with 4 miles on the odometer and still wrapped in plastic. No butts in the seat. The truck has plenty leg room in the 2nd and 3rd row. I don't know how they did it, but they did. I plan to keep it until until... Don't forget it has all the music playing options (CD player, streaming, usb), except cassette player and it has 3 suspension modes (soft, standard and sport). You can run 4x4 on a dry road with no grinding (do this to get some run time on the differentials to keep it working). I can't safely do this in my '06 Tundra without the grind on turns. A true family SUV. I have the air suspension.

[@danielclawson2099]

I'm super glad the 2nd gen is getting more popular for modding. My family just recently grew to the point of needing three rows. Spending days in a cramped midsize 3rd row is too small.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Totally makes sense. You’ll have 18 cup holders for everyone’s needs

[@jcarry5214]

Man all I have is a small hunting dog with the 2 of us and I still am annoyed by the lack of a full size suv market/content. We want to get a second dog and it's like we'll need a trailer just to go do some point to point camping.

[@pisces03141993]

Omg i just bought my 08 sr5 with the factory crappy key fob. Most of the videos I saw with the remote start had the Trd and the fancy key fob, but I open my door and tried it and sure enough it works with my truck as well. I’m so freaking pumped and last night I was almost going to buy one from Best Buy, you save me such a headache. Love you bro.

[@CoolGuyClub]

What??!?! That is so rad. The remote start is a major game changer for us too.

[@TwoBadBassist]

I have owned a 2017 Limited going on six years now, and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned! We have a family of 6 and tow a camper and it’s perfect!!

Most underrated Toyota ever. The transfer case alone is worth the price of admission. If my old Land Cruiser starts giving me problems (unlikely, lol), I will probably go with a 2nd gen Sequoia.

Fantastic! That Land Cruiser probably won't die soon tho lol.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you so much

[@aaronking8694]

My family and I, wife, 2 kids, just got back from OBX and Carova Beach, NC and the 4WD northern section is all sand and dunes, no roads. It was great, but we have a 2nd Gen stock base Highlander with 4WD or really its 50/50 (fulltime) AWD with all nanny buttons off, anyhow.. It did the job actually quite well to my surprise, but I have talked with wifey and she is adamant about keeping a 3rd row seating option and I want to have greater ground clearance with true 4WD. The 2nd gen Sequoia seems to check these boxes and adds to the cabin space available. It also helps that we are a Toyota household. Thanks for this content and please keep it coming!

[@theperpetualprepper9696]

I have a tundra and it tows my 32 foot camper fully loaded with no issues barely know it’s there when I am towing even up big hills

Really like my 2019 Sequoia it’s a great vehicle , rides great more capable then people think four wheeling gets 14mpg . Just looked at a 2024 and went WTF happened here from the front seat to the second row all is good , then you get to the third row seats and its like what happened They totally screwed the pooch with the rear cargo area . Thanks for sharing

[@Being_Joe]

I was super close on buying a 2011 SR5 in great condition from a dealer. They were lagging on a couple things so we could close out the deal and I ran into a better deal on a 2005 LX470. I love my LX but whenever I see a Sequoia (1st and 2nd gen) there is a part of me that still wants one. Had I gotten a Sequoia I would still be lusting for a LX/LC.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Yes. Coming from a current sequoia owner, I’m listing for a 200 series

Good thing about the 2nd Gen too is they don’t have a disaster of a cargo area like on the 3rd Gen.

[@CoolGuyClub]

That’s a fact. Lots of great cargo options on a 2nd gen

[@insider9119]

I’ve got the 2020 TRD Pro. Solid truck. Tons of space with three kids. Road trips, over-landing, moderate off-roading. I have zero complaints. Legendary longevity doesn’t hurt either. Yours looks great on 37’s. I’m going Westcott preload collars and 295 r70 18. Should be more than enough for what we do…at least until those fox shocks need to be replaced😁

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thanks so much! That’s 100% a fact, yours will be more than capable with that set up.

[@mlife2]

The sequoia can tow up to 10,000lbs with the 5.7L V8 and tow package. There is a 4.7L engine that tows up to 7,800lbs. All depends on the model, that’s per the manual. Mine does tow up to 10,000lbs, I had to verify this because I pull a travel trailer. Although I only pull below 9,000lbs at max. Secondly, although there are many parts for the Sequoia for the front end because many parts match the Tundra, you’ll have a harder time finding parts for the rear. Especially if you want to lift or upgrade your shocks. I had to buy King shocks because at the time they were the only ones that made rear shocks for sequoia’s without having to order custom shocks.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Hey thanks for the clarification, I had to look up the tow rating myself but I didn’t check the manual. (I should have). However I will say there are a ton of shock options now. Eibach, Elka, dobinsons, and bilstein all make a shock that will fit.

[@LayneSteighlee]

oh I love that grille! do you have a link for the bumper, grille and headlights? thank you

[@WeFightTheCorruption]

The back window is the only issue. After a while water will get down there and muck up the ability to close the window with the switch. You may have to take the back plate off to get the window back up.

[@CoolGuyClub]

That's a good point. I have read about that actually.

[@g_unit6773]

[@CPLBSS88]

I regret selling my 05 Tundra... but that Mercedes v8 timing belt change was too much of an expense (and PITA for DIY) for my budget at the time.

Huge drive shaft and huge axles. Roof top tent and roof rack next with all the fixins. One dependable rig and capable of 500k to 1,000,000 miles with regular maintenance. Just need to figure out how to put a rear window switch inside the back for sleepovers. Keep it coming!

My tundra has 367,000 miles on it, all original except two starters and about to add a new alternator. Other than that, it's all original, the motor, transmission and fluid....dont know why they say dont change it...but I am going to do it anyway, water pump is still kicking even though I carry one with me in my spare parts tubby when I travel...of yes, I forgot, a big part replacement....my fan clutch. Bought the truck with 124,000 on it and it pulls strond as ever and love 4 wheeling in it and pulling stupid people out the ditches when it snows in Nashville. This winter is going to be especially cold fun because of all the non-snow and ice people that have moved here.... cannot wait for early morning hot totty and hot chocolate towing. The beer is always cold in the back in the winter saving on ice. The yeti keeps it for like two weeks or more in the winter. Thank you for the video

[@dadhats]

I need something to tow my car to the track and double as something I can haul around my giant bernese mountain dog around in. my favorite part about these is that they don't appeal to the offroading/overlanding crowd as much as the gx470/460s that I've been crossshopping, so more space, more towing capacity, more power, all for less money. I want a platinum so bad, but there's not that many for sale in my area. might have to "settle" for a limited.

Which trim is this Sequoia since it does not look like the standard one

[@CoolGuyClub]

Platinum.

[@bamban_garcia5562]

@@CoolGuyClub Yeah can't find any of those near me only the standard one though with over 200k miles on them so no idea if a good investment or not

Can you swap a 2nd gen front bumper/grill on to a 1st gen?

[@CoolGuyClub]

No

[@poutous1]

What did you have to do to enable auto-start? I have a 2013 limited but it doesn’t have this feature. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@CoolGuyClub]

I’m not too knowledgeable on that system, ours came with it but I’m sure it can be enabled through tech stream.

[@matt95023]

I believe remote start is an optional feature. Not all 2nd gen Sequoias have it from the factory. I have an aftermarket remote start on my 2019 Sequoia that the previous owner installed.

I was interested until I heard the tow rating lol. My 09 explorer limited v8 can tow 7200lbs so not much difference

[@CoolGuyClub]

Sadly I misspoke there. I looked up the wrong numbers. It’s tow rating is closer to 10,000lbs

[@johnscott2600]

@@CoolGuyClub naw you was pretty much on the money even from my research. The newest body can tow 8-9k lbs roughly and this body can tow 7-7400lbs. I used a 2020 sequoia to find my numbers

[@itsjuliepotts]

What exact model year do you have?

[@CoolGuyClub]

2012 platinum

howz the K&N Holding up would u rather have it heard

[@CoolGuyClub]

Love it. It’s been doing amazing in all sorts of horrible conditions

[@joem4613]

The first gen has a timing belt. If you service a first gen the 4.7 has gone a million miles and gets 15 mpg, i love the second gen and the 5.7 but its not getting 15 plus the first gen is the best looking and the most functional size

Truck is looking badass. 👍 Is the molle panel on the rear side window the Victory 4x4 one? I looked at those but the comments about the rivnuts on the install vid are giving me second thoughts.

[@CoolGuyClub]

It is in fact that. It’s garbage. You’ll totally cut up your arms installing the bottom brackets and the whole rivnut thing is not a good solution.

[@farmertoby2971]

@@CoolGuyClub Some of the comments say to buy a legit rivnut tool and ditch the one that comes with their kit, did you do that? Do you think it would support the weight of a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit.
